COOKING-HOOD.

Specification of Letters Patent. 7 Patented Jan, 12, 1915.

Application filed Apri1 29, 1913. 1 Serial No. 764,345.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES F. J UDSON, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Eagle, in the county of Ada and State of Idaho, havemade certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking-Hoods, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in cooking hoods, and it consistsin the combinations, constructions, v and arrangements herein describedand claimed.

An object of my invention is to provide a device which may be placedover articles which are being cooked and which when so placed will serveto draw all the odors and Emoke into the fire box and thence up the Afurther object of my invention is to provide a hood of the typementioned which is of comparatively light weight, and which can beopened to permit ready access to the articles contained therein.

Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specificationand the novel features of the device will be particularly pointed out inthe appended claim.

My invention is illustrated inthe accompanying drawings forming part ofthis application in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device,as applied to a range or stove, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a devicefrom a different angle, Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse section, andFig. 4 is an enlarged vertical section through the hood and stove top.

In carrying out my invention I provide a device comprising a top 1, afront wall 2, a rear wall 3 and an end wall 4. These members arepreferably integral, but may be made separately and joined together inany suitable manner. As shown in the drawings the front and rear walls 2and 3 are sloped preferably at an angle from thetop toward the bottom.Hinged to the front wall 2 is a door or closure 5 whose lower edge isarranged to engage the stove top. An end member 6 is provided oppositethe end member 4: and is perforated at 6 to admit air. Hinged to the endmember 6 is a closure 7 which is provided with a handle 8. A

handle 9 is secured to the top for the purpose of raising the hoodbodily. P

From the foregoing description of the various parts of the device theoperation thereof may be readily understood.

In the ordinary operation of cooking, say for-instance in broiling asteak, the stove lids, such as that shown at 10 in Fig. 4:, may beremoved and the hood placed over the opening. The door or closure 7 maybe lifted and the broiler with the steak therein placed over theopening. Any odors from the article cooking will be drawn down throughthe top of the stove and thenceup the flue. In certain instances, it maybe desirable to leave the lids in place. In such instance I may providealid 11 (see Fig. 4) of a special shape having a discharge pipe 12carried thereby. This pipe 12 may be covered with a central auxiliarylid 13. Now by removing the latter the odors and smoke from the cookingwill be drawn down through the pipe 12 and discharged into the fire boxor other compartment of the stove where it will then pass out throughthe flue with the products ofcombustion. I

' The purpose of the openings 6 is to permit the outside air to havefree entrance into the hood when the doors, 5 and 7 are closed. Theprovision of the door 5 permits articles to be placed into the hood fromthe front of the stove while the door 7 permits the entrance of articlesfrom the end of the hood.

A hood constructed as described above obviates the necessity of buildingan extra flue for taking off odors from articles cooked upon the stoveor range. The device is of light weight and may be readily lifted intoposition. It has few operating parts and is not liable to easily get outof order. I am aware that other devices of a similar nature might bemade, but I consider as my own all such modifications as fairly fallwithin the spirit and the scope of the invention.-

I claim:

The combination with a stove having openings in its top, of a lid forsaid openings having a discharge pipe extending into the fire box, anauxiliary lid for normally closing said pipe, and a hood arranged to beWith the stove, said last named hinged c10- placed over said stoveopenings, one end of sure extending the full length of the hood.

said hood having a hinged closure and being 7 provided Wiilh a series ofair openings above CHARLES JUDSON' 5 said hinged ciosnre, and one sideof said Witnesses:

hood being provided with a hinged closure CHARLES E. Coxn,

arranged to swing downwardly in Contact JAMES H. LANE.
